Priests to Reid: There Will Be Hell to Pay3/16/2005 9:12:00 AM
To: National Desk Contact: Jerry Horn of Priests for Life, 540-785-4733 WASHINGTON, March 16 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Priests for Life, a national anti-abortion organization, took note Tuesday of the comments of Minority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) that a change of Senate rules regarding the President's judicial nominees would mark "an unprecedented abuse of power." Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, remarked, "First of all, the abuse of power is on the part of judges who write law instead of applying it. Secondly, the Republicans are currently in power, and they should use it. Third, those Senators who continue to obstruct the process by which nominees receive a fair and speedy up-or-down vote will have hell to pay in the 2006 elections, and that is a promise."

Statement by RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman on Sen. Harry Reid's Irresponsible Threat3/15/2005 4:05:00 PM
To: National Desk Contact: Tracey Schmitt of the Republican National Committee Communications Office, 202-863-8614; Web: www.gop.comWASHINGTON, March 15 /U.S. Newswire/ -- RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman issued the following statement on the Sen. Harry Reid's irresponsible threat: "Senator Reid's unprecedented threat to shut down the Senate if Senators are asked to fulfill their Constitutional duty to advise and consent on judges would put partisan obstruction ahead of the people's business. America's schools, health care, retirement security and other priorities should not be held hostage to an irresponsible Senate shutdown. I hope that no Senator will abandon his or her responsibility to the American people."
